Default Any word on next week's DOT inspections?

Talked to a driver that confirmed to me what i heard from another one that on the 3-4-5 of next month there is going to be a level one inspections at the weigh stations throughout the US.They will be checking for seat belt use,mechanical inspections ,all the works?

Just want to confirm more from you guys,especially the veteran ones.Is it really true?Don't want to spread to many rumors but a word of caution would help right?

TY

Hogan gave 50 dollars for every good inspection, so just so you know your company will kill you if you mess up because this could really hurt their companies safty ratings.

Be careful out there. I'm supposed to get my new dump truck, 07 Sterling it should be fine.

AWESOME!!! So it's Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday! I thought it was later in the week! It just so happens I wrap up my training on...Tuesday or Wednesday! I know, I know, some guys think it doesn't matter. But, I just prefer to not deal with it.

I think NY started this past week. They were working really hard at the Alex Bay border. They did the same thing last year.

I just asked for an inspection 2 days ago in Vermont to get my sticker and they told me it's going to be Nation wide.

Greener-than-grass... :lol:

Hey, I'm an old Steve Booth fan, he used to post on this board. Had an avatar just like yours. No, no, no, Steve learned a lot about trucking in a very short time, he already knows more than I probably ever will. There're just things that pop up from time to time, like this revelation that the inspections will be nationwide... :wink: And oh, it's the first time I've heard of someone asking for one, too! :P



...jk...jk...
